Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Good. The first book of prose published by either James Thurber or E. B. White, Is Sex Necessary? combines the humor and genius of both authors to examine those great mysteries of life -- romance, love, and marriage. A masterpiece of drollery, this 75th Anniversary Edition stands the test of time with its…sidesplitting spoof of men, women, and psychologists; more than fifty funny illustrations by Thurber; and a new foreword by John Updike. From the Publisher: The classic send-up of sex manuals and how-to books--and one of the funniest books ever written. "One of the silliest books in years, and perfectly lovely."--Saturday Review "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: Good. Vintage Penguin First Edition. #1422. Is Sex Necessary? Or Why You Feel the Way You Do is James Thurber and E. B. Whiteâs playful, mock-scientific exploration of human romance and sexual behaviour, presented here in a collectible Penguin edition. Blending Thurberâs comic drawings with both authorsâ dr…y, satirical prose, the book gently parodies the earnest psychology texts of the 1920s. Its essays mix absurdity, sharp observation and affectionate humour, making light of the anxieties and rituals of courtship. It remains a charming early collaboration between two major American humorists and a classic of light, literary comedy.
